Abstract:
When RNA from southern bean mosaic virus is fractionated on a sucrose gradient, the resulting absorbance profile shows a major peak corresponding to 1.4 x 10(6) MW together with a considerable amount of slower sedimenting material. The RNA from these gradient fractions was translated in wheat embryo extracts and reticulocyte lysates. Only RNA in the molecular weight range 0.3 - 0.4 x 10(6) was found to induce synthesis of coat protein (designated P3). RNA of molecular weight 1.4 x 10(6) induced synthesis of three proteins, P1, P2, and P4.

Coat Assembly and GTPases
Coat assembly depends on the local availability of phosphatidylinositol phosphates or PIPs and GTP-binding proteins. Adaptor proteins, which link the coat proteins to the membrane, bind to these PIPs and play a crucial role in controlling...
RNA Interference
This process occurs naturally in cells, often through the activity of genomically-encoded microRNAs. Researchers can take advantage of this mechanism by introducing synthetic RNAs to deactivate specific genes for research or therapeutic purposes. For example, RNAi could be used...
